Donky Kong and Straws

Oh, and the stories of Donky Kong and Straws? Those will come in due time.

Though, I did pull this photo out of the archives yesterday.

That photo is from May 23, 2008. The night Kelly and Anthony became a couple. 🙂

I have my version of a story from that night and Kelly has hers, but the endings are both the same.

They both lived happily ever after. 🙂

Hey, that line was pretty brilliant! It’s going in the speech!

This morning I felt like running. I got up, set out for 4 miles and ended up with 5.

When I got to 4 the audiobook I was listening to was so close to being done that I had to add an extra mile just so I could finish it. It was a really cheesy book – not even worth mentioning – but it was a good listen on runs.

When I returned, it was breakfast time!

All I kept thinking about on the run was how nice a cold, refreshing smoothie would be. Not a smoothie in a bowl, but one in a cup, with a straw. 🙂

Make plans now to attend the Central Florida Blogger Conference. It is perfect for beginning bloggers and seasoned pros. Whether you blog as a hobby, for your business or as a public relations professional, you’ll be sure to learn new strategies to build your brand, influence in your community, and make new friends.

My friend, Bess, has been working feverishly behind the scenes to bring this conference together and I’m really excited to have been asked to be apart of it. I’m partnering with Ashley K. Edwards of Izea to present the “How to Monetize Your Blog” session. Your guess is as good as mine as what I’m going to say, but at least I’ll have a great partner to present with. 🙂

If you’re in the Central Florida area I hope you’ll be in attendance! It’s only $30 to attend and Bess has an AWESOME agenda in place! It should be a great way to network with fellow Central Florida blogging fanatics and learn a thing or two in the process.

Oooh that blogger conference is so tempting! I don’t live anywhere near Florida (I’m in Ontario) but I can’t make it to HLS this year because it conflicts with another fitness conference I’m going to. So sad!!

The donkey kong and straws story is hilarious! I think you should post your speech after the big day!Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat recently posted..Friend Date!

Rainbow cookies are so much more exciting than plain old choc chip ones! And the best part is each season you can swap out the different colored m&m’s to be festive 🙂chloe @ 321delish recently posted..A Kid In a Candy Store

Your smoothie does look refreshing! I’ve been really into smoothies lately.. I guess because it’s so warm out and I want something a little different than iced coffee :]Anastasia recently posted..5k Recap

Making my maid of honour speech at my sister’s wedding was one of the most nerve-wracking, yet wonderful and rewarding experiences of my life! And if I lived in central Florida, I’d totally hit up that conference…but it’s a bit too much of a commute for me!
